The Chase Platinum MasterCard®, issued by Chase, is designed for those who have very good credit and are looking for an overall good platinum card with a rewards program.
Through the rewards program, cardholders earn one point for every dollar spent on purchases. Points may be redeemed for cash back, merchandise, travel, and gift cards. Points expire in five years, and there is a maximum of 60,000 points that may be earned per year.
The credit card has a reasonable interest rate (for those who qualify), an attractive 0% introductory rate for up to 12 months on purchases and balance transfers, and no annual fee.
This platinum card does offer a variety of additional cardholder benefits that include travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and free online account access.
Therefore, those who have a very good credit history, want to participate in the rewards program, and plan to take advantage of the various additional services and benefits will find the Chase Platinum MasterCard® to be an ideal card.
It is important to note that the various interest rates that can be applied to an individual's account may be confusing and should be fully understood before applying for the credit card.
